[edit]
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to St Jude's Church, Bristol when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance.
Thank you. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 13:44, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
Iron age Europe is bias
[edit]if I look up anyone else I get the oldest iron with Europe its the date that no more bronze is found.
Eastern Europe has more iron artifacts in the bronze age then anywhere in west Eurasia including the caucus and Middle East, over 300 oldest being 2500 bce and not metorite Iron,
A forged sickle from 1800-1500 bce and a iron sword 1100 bce have been found in Central Europe,
Spears in Denmark older than 800 bce have been found
And all this information can be found on Wikipedia ferrous metallurgy page with the sources ~2026-26997-51 (talk) 08:47, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
Unexplained changes to St Jude's Church, Bristol
[edit]Hi @Dithy,
I just wanted to let you know I reverted the changes you made to the article in the following revision: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=St_Jude%27s_Church,_Bristol&oldid=1349012271
Considering you changed one of the categories to "20th-century churches" when it's an 1840s church, I was a bit skeptical of the rest of your removals. I understand if you think some of the text may need pruning or rewriting (I wrote it, and won't deny I can go into excessive detail), but please do make it clearer in the descriptions ("Biblograpy entry correction" is not very clear) of your revisions why you are changing things, especially removing so much of the content.
Please do feel free to make any changes to that article, just be more clear on why you are doing so next time!
Best regards,

- This is very strange. I cannot explain this. I did not make the edits (nor would I, being a not very confident wikipedia editor and definitely not one with any knowledge about church architecture in Bristol). All I did in my edit was add an open access icon to the reference I had inserted in a previous edit (Corcos). I have changed my account password in case a session has been left open somewhere else. Not sure what else I can do? Dithy (talk) 10:32, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
- Did you perhaps use something like ChatGPT to assist you in the edit? I think that it can change large sections of text and truncate things without being prompted to. That, or maybe something else happened while you were editing? I know the visual editor has an edit suggestions feature in beta right now that can prompt an editor to remove unsourced text. If not, that it very strange - you could take a look at Wikipedia:Compromised accounts, which gives some information on setting up things like 2FA or contacting site stewards if you believe your account may have been accessed by someone else.
